ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR

[Adman103]

If we're talking cuts, 634 would get my vote!

[grandmasterben]

I have no idea how many pairs go into a certain cut, but I'd guess that with the amount available (if it should happen) there would be enough for multiple cuts. If so, I think the 634s is kind of obligatory as it's the flagship cut and probably the most flattering on the most people.  I have no beef against SE but I think the 301s cut should get left out…not sure why but it already got the last of the 23 oz denim.  Probably next logical choice would be 666s, and that should leave more than enough for a few more cuts...

634, 666 and a new vest cut like a IH-527J but double up the chest pockets!

Haraki has always said that this denim is too gnarly to make a shirt or a jacket…..

634

If it was made once why can't it be made again?

[JCar2666]

^Always wondered that too.  It's not a collab issue

[llvlaglne]

It was made twice. But if a 3rd happens, 634 cut again pls

[Chris]

I would never wear them, but I bet the 555 and 666 models would sell really well.

[llvlaglne]

I don't think the 555 will be a big seller, look what happened with the 555-02

[Nerkg]

634. With same larger measurements.

What happened?

Aren't the 555-01 and 555-02 being rerun already?

How many cuts "fly off the shelves" anyways?

Btw: Agree with you 100%, Chris.

[llvlaglne]

It doesn't change the fact that they're getting a rerun but the 555-02 sold extremely slow for some reason compared to the 01.

[Nerkg]

I would figure the 555 is generally not a popular cut
As the 634, Giles def said the 555-18 raw was the worst selling by far, if that's the555-2

[davidl890]

I'm in for a 666

[derivative666]

666 agreed

The two ends of the spectrum are:

1. The financially 'safe' option. The three highest selling cuts (I think), i.e. 634, 666, BB

2. The 'exciting' option, i.e. something new. I liked Seul's suggestion of a cut resembling the SEIH07, and I'm also a huge fan of the Indo cut (which I'm sure would have sold like hotcakes under a different name). Both these options have a more aggressive lower leg taper than the IH standards, so dunno how Haraki would feel about this. I'm not suggesting a direct ripoff of Kiya's work, but definitively something in that direction.

Of course, with potential for 700+ pairs, there would be plenty of scope to slide along that spectrum, and do some blend of options 1 and 2.

Backing Urbanwoodsman's idea with a strong emphasis on thigh/waist proportion.

Create a "Progressive" Cut: 
  1. Cuts like the 666, 555, and IHxB do not work for people with waists 31" and under (ME!):
  -The top block is too small, or the thigh measurement is too small, or the knee and leg opening are too small     
  2. Cuts like the 634 and DC4… do not work for larger folk:
  -The knee and/or leg opening is much too large to be practical/comfortable

So, smaller people need a straight cut (except for some female customers), and larger people need a slight/moderate taper...

Why not make a cut that is a straight 634 from sizes 28-31, and then using the top block from the 634 make sizes 32-35 similar to the 666 from the mid-thigh down, and finally make sizes 36-40 similar to the 555 from the mid-thigh down?

Of course I am speaking with a 634 bias.  23oz. jeans should never be skin tight
